So I want to cover a quick tip which I found out the hard way and
I want you to know maybe you already do but
You know, I I found it out just now which is that bookmarks have these set of options data
Display and current page and at least one of them prove really useful for me and I can I can see on how others
could be useful as well. So the scenario that I have is that I'm using a drill down pages, right?
So these this is being used as a drill down page. So I'll just show that to you really quick
So if I go back here and I say Germany drill down I want to drill through
Sorry - country detail then. You know it selects Germany and I have this set up now
Here's where and of course once I'm looking at Germany, you know, I can click around and see okay
What about the road box in Germany - in box and everything works great, except that I have this bookmark, which does not work.
So let me actually take off the Germany filter and let's just show you how the bookmark works.
So right now we're looking at the whole wild world and
okay, there we go, right so the way this bookmark toggle is supposed to work is that right now.
I'm looking in the map and it says click toggle switch table and I click or well if you're some desktop I control click and
I switch the table and I switch to map and it's all good. Now, of course
Generally, so let's drill down again
And that's where you would see where the problem happens
Which is so now if I go back to Germany again and say drill through country detail. I
really gotta get my drill down and drill - right so drill down by the way is is is this
Where you know you're looking at bikes and you drill down and you see the next level of details?
Alright anyway, so back here
So we're gonna drill through so, you know
I got it right this time so drill through to Germany to see more details and this is where things stop working
so as I was you know recording on other video I was like
Oh now that you're looking at Germany you can look at what's happening with road bikes
You can look at helmets and all of that stuff and you know
If you want it, you could toggle the map and then notice what happens boom, right? So
It resets it to the original state. So of course when I created this bookmark, that's
Where I created the bookmark and of course
You can't beat this if I would obviously I don't want to create this bookmark
By filtering to Germany because it wouldn't work for any of the other countries. So doesn't matter what you
drill into
Clicking the bookmark or the toggle right toggle points to the bookmark
This resets it to where the bookmark was which was the whole world now. That's not what I want
So again, I'm in the US and then I if I toggle it boom, you know notice now that there is France, Australia
I don't want that now turns out there's a really easy way to fix that
so again, we're gonna go into our bookmarks option and if you notice here,
So I'm gonna hover slowly so you can see that so you have these different settings
man, I not love the
Granular control that part of your team has has given us here
So you can say hey, what does this bookmark do does it?
You know
So when you created the bookmark, whatever the state of the data
Was at that point the filter drill sort state. Do you want that to be preserved and in this case?
I don't I don't want to mess with the filters if I'm looking at Germany. I wanna keep looking at Germany
Do I want to you know?
Restore to the bookmark to the visual display. Yes, I do
That's what's gonna change the map to the table and table to the map
So I need that and of course I am, you know current page. That's the third option
I'm gonna talk about that that could be useful as well. So I'm gonna turn that off
I'm like now don't mess with the data. Don't mess with my filters
If I'm looking at Germany leave it to be Germany and that's it. Now everything is gonna work
Beautifully. All right. Let's see. So, let's go back to Germany drilled through country detail and now I'm looking at Germany
And of course I can click on road bikes
and helmet helmet and so forth, but I can also say oh, I want to talk I switch to a table and
I switch to a table but notice it didn't reset it, right. It didn't reset the filter
It's just showing me Germany, of course any other country would work as well. So there you go guys
That was our quick tip for the day check out this option in bookmarks
